(UN)TAMED

Daddy thought
She's just a chirpy little girl;
She should be left alone.
Mother thought
She’s daddy's little girl;
Better let her be.
Everyone thought
This one is unusual:  
She’s best left alone.

She thought nothing
She was just a child.
And time passed ...

Now
Daddy’s gone,
Mother is gone too,
Everyone is but a shadow
She’s all grown up
And she’s met the world.
They were right, she thinks  
She was best left alone,
But was she?

The Thing That Gnaws At Me

Could I be right, 

This thing I am thinking?

Could this be all; 

This life I have seen?

Could there be more;  

This yearning of mine?

If only the noise would go away,

Then I should hear it.

If only it wasn’t so dark,

Then I would see it.

If only I might find it,

Surely, then I would embrace it?
